tracing: Fix parse_synth_field() error handling

[ Upstream commit 8fbeb52a598c7ab5aa603d6bb083b8a8d16d607a ]

synth_field_size() returns either a positive size or an error (zero or
a negative value). However, the existing code assumes the only error
value is 0. It doesn't handle negative error codes, as it assigns
directly to field->size (a size_t; unsigned), thereby interpreting the
error code as a valid size instead.

Do the test before assignment to field->size.
